Supply Chain Attacks: The New Reality
summary
Supply-chain attacks target build and distribution points, not just source code: Codecov container bash script exfiltrated repository credentials and a composer registry proof‑of‑concept shows package metadata injection can run commands on the registry. Reports estimate roughly 4x increase in 2021 and a 650% year‑over‑year rise in supply‑chain incidents. Practical defenses are a machine‑readable SBoM, automated scanning at package managers and CI, policy to hold packages younger than 30 days, and manual review for high‑risk or unmaintained components.
